Canal and narrowboat painting is a traditional and painstaking craft that dates back to the industrial revolution and the heyday of the British inland waterways network. Together with its manufacturing partner, HMG Paints of Manchester, Nauteco has developed a range of high build coach enamels, undercoats, flat colours, other finishes and primers - specifically for narrowboats.
Painting narrowboats presents a unique set of challenges not least due to the damp, corrosive environment and the fact that many boats are up to 70ft long. Our high quality Gloss Enamel Topcoat is complemented by a high build undercoat and an anti-corrosive zinc phosphate primer. Amongst other products, there are high build flat colours, for painting decorative details.
